Shohei Ohtani's Dad Drops Truth Bomb on Dodgers Star's Wife

Shohei Ohtani is putting the finishing touches on one of the most dominant seasons in MLB history in his first year with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ohtani has posted the first ever 50-home run, 50-stolen base in the league's history, and he also managed to reach 400 total base threshold, making him the first player to do so in over 20 years.

It's wild to remember that Ohtani's season started with a huge fraud case involving his translator, and it's safe to say things could have gone off the rails very quickly for him. If you ask Ohtani's father, Toru, the wife of the Dodgers star, Mamiko, deserves quite a bit of credit for all of his success this season.

"There was the fraud case before the season started, and it left me feeling very worried. But as a married man, you have someone by your side that you can talk to anytime, which gave me relief. Without Mamiko, you would not be where you are today. Of course, your beloved dog Dekopin is also a big part of your life." - Toru Ohtani, Sponichi

Ohtani has largely kept his personal life as private as possible, as he initially refused to reveal who his wife was after he announced his marriage back in February, only to share that it was Mamiko a month later.

While Mamiko doesn't exactly dominate headlines, she's played a huge role in helping Shohei navigate this turbulent season, and if you ask Toru, she deserves quite a bit of credit for all the success he's achieving on the field.
